Ninth Circuit Court Overturns LAUSD's Covid-19 Vaccine Mandate in Health Freedom Defense Fund Case

Jun 7, 2024, 09:26 PM

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated the district court's decision in the case of Health Freedom Defense Fund v. Carvalho, ruling against the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) on its Covid-19 vaccine mandate. The court found that the mandate interfered with employees' fundamental right to refuse medical treatment. This decision was seen as a significant victory for the Health Freedom Defense Fund and others challenging the mandatory vaccination policy. The court also noted that the Covid-19 injections were not vaccines but medical treatments, which employers could not mandate.
